Will he still be swimming for the Gators as an amateur or professional? He is 20, I am sure a lot of swim companies are ready to sign him up.

This is correct, but training wise the difference is pretty negligible... as in nobody trained with their public school team (back in my day) The club team does train at the school, i feel since my era there may be a satellite pool or 2 now.

Dressel in this fly is impressive

Rowdy is kinda excited. If Dressel goes for 8 medals in Japan we might need to rethink Phelps

I mean winning 3 golds in one day is making me think this guy may be as dominant.

China will show up flat at the next big meet, they seem just to target the World Championships

Is it bad I can't tell which one are the guys for the Japanese Mixed 4x100 team?

Correct

And Dressel is unbelievable. Just came .4 of beating Phelps 100 fly WR. Butterfly is not his best stroke.

Jesus fricking christ... 0 olympic individual medals ever. Phelps had 4 before dressel's age, to go with his 6 individual world titles.

There's the problem...

IF is the key word and 8 golds in a Olympics would better Phelps.

He won't win 8 golds, and if he does, it won't be better because he'll have mixed relays to his advantage that Phelps didn't.

You were the one to bring it up, there is no argument to be made. Just enjoy watching the kid swim fast worry about his legacy later.

I am not the one who brought it up initially (other than in here) and then you disagreed.

But then again I consider what Heiden more impressive than what Phelps did in a single games.
